When your cortisol surges, you respond by noticing what it’s paired with. It could be low blood sugar, or the scent of danger, or social isolation. Life experience builds myriad circuits that light up when your cortisol turns on. Sometimes the solution is obvious, like pulling your hand off a hot stove. But often, you’re not sure what triggered the alarm. You don’t know how to make it stop, yet it feels like something awful will happen if you don’t “do something” immediately. For example, let’s say you have a bad feeling about your boss while sitting at your desk in your office. You want to make that feeling go away because cortisol annoys you until you do something to make it stop. But you’re not sure what started it or how you can relieve it. You do know, from life experience, that doughnuts make you feel good. Doughnuts trigger happy chemicals because fat and sugar are scarce in nature. The good feeling distracts you from the bad feeling, which makes it seem like the threat is gone for the moments you are eating the doughnut. Consciously, you know the doughnut hasn’t fixed your problems, but happy chemicals are molecules that pave a neural pathway. The next time you feel bad about your boss, electricity trickles to the thought of eating a doughnut. If you eat one, you build the connection. You still know the doughnut doesn’t solve your problem and in fact could make it worse. But going with the flow gives you a sense of safety for that moment. When the “do something” feeling strikes, your brain builds the idea that eating a doughnut is doing something.
